One of the most important cars Tesla will be a little late. Elon Musk told Twitter followers that Tesla had delayed the delivery of plaid models per week, until June 10. Extra-quick EV requires “one more week of tweaking,” he said. The head of the company did not explain what the change was, but they were quite clear that Tesla could not fix it with software updates.
The ‘base’ box is the first Tri-motor model to send and represents a significant jump in performance, with 0-60mph time which is claimed only under two seconds, a quarter mile of 9.23 seconds and the highest speed of 200mph. Tesla demanded it as a “fastest acceleration car” in production, and clearly aimed for a better sustainable performance that rivaled conventional supercars and direct competitors such as Porsche Taycan. Variants + plaid + which faster are due in mid 2022.
Delays will not do many things to hurt the bottom line of Tesla, because most of the sales are low-cost model 3 and Y. However, the important part of the Tesla’s future lineup depends on the launch of fine boxes. Cybertruck and Next-Gen Roadster leaning on Tri-motor technology for performance – hiccups now, even small, can have a ripple effect on the introduction in the future.
